San Carlos, San Diego, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
San Carlos is a middle-class neighborhood in the eastern area of San Diego, California. It borders the neighborhoods: Del Cerro, Lake Murray, Tierrasanta, Navajo, Allied Gardens, the city of La Mesa and Mission Trails.
San Carlos is geographically defined largely by its proximity to Mission Trails Regional Park, and to the manmade reservoir Lake Murray. Between the neighbouring communities of San Carlos, Allied Gardens, and Del Cerro, there is a general sensibility alternately of competition, and of solidarity. This may be due to their proximity, visible difference in social and economic standing, and the fact that all three neighbourhoods are served by Patrick Henry High School. Competitive feelings, however, tend to be considered only tongue-in-cheek.
Community centers include the high school, an eponymous community park and recreation center, and a performance venue and community room called Casey's Place.
[edit] History
Developed by Carlos Tavares who it was later named after.
